Fitt is gonna get us 3 more. He just hasn't worked his magic yet. 

At this point Fitt will get a first for Paradis and Burris

I’m honestly hoping we invest our high draft capital in the oline the next draft. Though I haven’t looked at prospects this early, and I’d prefer to hang on to Jackson. He’s fitting in so well in this system so far.

He can't play right now, correct? And you want to trade a starter away? So we lose a starter and gain somebody who can't play right now? How is that better in an instant?

The Lions are for sure going to try and make it work with both Decker and Sewell before even thinking about a trade. Sewell wasn't good in the preseason at RT but maybe the light is on now that it's the regular season. Alternatively, they could certainly put Decker at RT which is a position he played previously in college. Having two stud tackles would be the ideal situation and it's not like Decker would be overpaid as a RT since they are pretty much in line with LT salaries these days.

Trading Jackson isn't the craziest thing, but only if Fitterer is 100% sure he isn't going to re-sign/franchise him for what is certain to be a very big contract and Bouye regains his 2018 form as a good starter.

Sewell has played RT more than Decker played RT.  Khalil Mack was put on the map going up against Decker at RT. LOL

Was that Decker during Mack’s coming out party when he was at Buffalo? Did not remember that. Either way the Lions will and should try to make both of them work for bookend tackles before considering shipping out Decker.

not even reading thru this thread to see the responses, but it's easy... the Lions aren't trading him for short of a stupid haul.  They didn't draft Sewell to be a replacement for him at LT, they drafted him to have 2 stud tackles on each side, period.

So they aren't looking to dump him on the cheap, regardless of records, and I don't blame them, if you can get 2 elite OT's in this league, you do it, end of story.

Can we trade for an Upper Decker instead?

how about brooklyn decker?

Hell to the naw trading Jackson for anything the way he's playing.

I've been a big critic of his play, but my man is balling out this season.  My hope is it isn't just because it's his contract season though.

The RT was Decker.  Mack had some success on the other side too but he killed Decker.

DET is 0-5

If we are in a ‘win now’ mode then send a 2023 second and let’s get a LT in his prime

Then you’re going to have to trade a pick 

 

D Jax is playing lights out, this is the time you can flip him
